6.2.3

Conversion Rate Bits

The conversion rate bits define the number of executed temperature conversions per time unit.

Additional readouts of the temperature register between conversions are possible but not

recommended because the value is changed only after a conversion is finished.

Values of 125ms, 250ms, 1s and 4s per conversion can be configured while the default rate is set to

250ms. This corresponds to a value of 4 conversions per second. The following table summarizes the

different configuration settings:

The device immediately starts a conversion after a power-on sequence and provides the first result

after typ. 32ms (max. 40ms). A higher power consumption occurs during the actual conversion while

the device stays in the standby mode after a finished conversion until the next conversion is activated

as shown in the following figure.

Sleep Mode

The sleep mode is activated by setting the bit SM in the configuration register to 1. This shuts the

device down immediately and reduces the power consumption to a minimum value.
